First Freiburg Krautrock Festival - with BIRTH CONTROL / GURU GURU / EMBRYO / DREAM CONTROL feat. Steve Schroyder & Zeus B. Held

FREIBURG KRAUTROCK FESTIVAL

Freiburg steps into the spotlight as a krautrock hub: the first Freiburg Krautrock Festival celebrates one of the most influential and adventurous currents in German music history. One evening of hypnotic grooves, psychedelic soundscapes and improvisational energy, where the pioneering spirit of the past meets the present.

Legendary bands BIRTH CONTROL, GURU GURU, EMBRYO and DREAM CONTROL will bring krautrock back to life at the Haus der Jugend.

Krautrock emerged in the late 1960s and early 1970s as a radical musical departure from Anglo-American rock traditions. Bands pushed into electronic sounds, repetitive rhythms and long, trance-like improvisations - forging a sound that continues to shape artists worldwide.

The Freiburg Krautrock Festival brings this atmosphere to the live stage. Audiences can expect a journey through cosmic synthesizer textures, motorik beats and psychedelic guitars - from driving jam sessions to immersive sound experiments.

Beyond the music, the festival is about shared experience: a gathering point for music lovers, scene veterans and curious newcomers who want to feel the spirit of krautrock firsthand.
